Exchange students with a disability

If you are currently receiving disability support at Kristianstad University, you may also receive this during your exchange.

If you believe you will need support during your exchange, consider:

  • Contacting the exchange coordinator at you department about opportunities available to you.
  • Should specific information be required, the exchange coordinator will contact the partner university of your exchange to find out what opportunities they offer.
  • For documentation confirming recommendations of your needed support, contact the student disability coordinator.
  • For information about opportunities for studies and internships abroad, Independent Living Institute provides an international guide and database.

For more information about work in Nordic countries regarding disabilities, go to Nordens Värlfärdscenter’s website.

Financial support through Erasmus

If your exchange is through Erasmus, there is a possibility to apply to receive financial support if you require pedagogical, physical or other support due to your disability. This is subject to the cost of needed support that is outstanding what the higher education institution of your exchange offers, such as transportation aid, teaching aids, accommodation arrangements, assistants, or medical assistance.

For more information about how to apply, contact the international coordinator marie.g.ekstrom@hkr.se.
